Two teams, each composed of three celebrities and one chosen contestant (dubbed the "celeb-to-be"), competed and tested their skills in a series of games and challenges. Each game had a different set of rules and difficulty rating.

The "celeb-to-be" was chosen out of hundreds of applicants, most being eliminated through challenges until a final challenge on the Friday Night Games set. Challenges included holding onto a balloon whilst riding "Wipeout", or holding a piece of paper above their head whilst riding on the Tower Of Terror, a roller coaster at Dreamworld, without ripping it.

During each Game there would be a referee (or ref for short) which the crowd booed at. At the grand final the ref was booed off stage and The ref Gave the crowd The Finger.However this was edited out.^{[citation needed]}

Each episode was pre-recorded in front of a live audience at Dreamworld’s games arena and aired on Friday nights. The ultimate Friday Night Games Champion Team won a A$50,000 donation to the charity of their choice, courtesy of Supercheap Auto.

Most of the show's episodes are lost to this day with Episode 6 being found in its entirety and Episode 10 being mostly found. A six minute ending to Episode 9 also exists however everything else from the show remains lost.

The winner of each episode is marked in Bold.

The Brunettes, consisting of Patrick Harvey, Craig Lowndes, team captain Ricki-Lee Coulter and Celeb-to-be Karyn, were the winners of the series. They chose to give the $50,000 to Beyond Blue.
